AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000001810

The pen is in good condition, showing signs of use consistent with its age, and is a Montblanc Meisterstück 254 made in W. Germany.

The body and cap in black resin retain their structural integrity, with no cracks or breaks. Superficial marks and micro-scratches are visible, typical of continued use, mainly perceptible under direct light and without affecting the proper functioning of the piece.

The gold-plated elements — especially the main ring of the cap — show evident wear of the plating, with visible loss and exposed brass areas, as seen in the images. The clip retains its original shape, with wear consistent with use and the engraving 'W. Germany' legible.

The 14K (585) gold nib is intact, with no cracks or deformations, and the original engravings are visible. It shows a patina and normal signs of use, maintaining proper alignment. The ebonite feed is complete and in its original configuration.

The piston loading system remains operational, providing functional actuation appropriate to the age of the pen (not recently tested with ink, unless otherwise indicated).

Overall, it is an authentic, honest piece with no restorations, ideal for daily use with character or as a collectible pen, especially valued for its original patina and W. Germany markings, appreciated by Montblanc collectors.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
